yeah.. hardware here costs a LOT.. i tried to find a phenom II x4 but they didnt have it.. so it's better to get the 4870, but how will it perform? (it says only 512 mb)

The memory amount has very little impact on performance. Having a big number is a marketing trick to make the uninformed buy it. 512MB should be fine.
The 4870 should run all games at smooth framerates on the high settings at resolutions of 1920x1200 or less. Anything better than that is for people with insanely large monitors only.
